Martinez To Debut In Mexico City

That's right, according to ESPN Deportes' Carlos Legaspi, Martinez will fight Saimon Oliveira at UFC Mexico City on Mar. 29.

Also a Contender Series alumni, Oliveira (18-5) is 0-2 in the UFC with defeats to Tony Gravely and the undefeated Daniel Marcos. Another loss could be it for the Brazilian, making this a true make-or-break fight against an uber-talented striker in David Martinez.

Oliveira had much success on the regional scene, winning five-straight fights and collecting 11 submissions along the way.

An orthopedic surgeon as well as a fighter, David Martinez has all KO's except for one win. "The Black Spartan's" greatest feat? Beating three fighters in a one-night tournament at Combate Global, where Martinez reigned as the bantamweight champion and one of the world's top prospects outside the UFC for his skills in the striking department and a Mexican heart to back it up.
